Under the Building Safety Act, which risks are considered building safety risk?

Building safety risk is understood broadly: it includes any hazard that could affect the safety of people in or around a building, arising from design, construction, occupation, or use. That means it isn’t limited to fire spread or structural failure alone; if there’s any other risk that could impact safety, it counts too. So while fire spread and structural failure are key risks, the act covers “fire spread, structural failure, or anything else,” making that option the best fit.
